Purpose:
Dental restoration: Dental crowns are used to protect and strengthen teeth that have been weakened due to extensive cavities, fractures, severe wear, or after root canal treatment.
Aesthetic improvement: They are also used for aesthetic purposes to improve the appearance of discolored, malformed, or misaligned teeth.
Materials:
Ceramic: Commonly used for crowns on visible teeth due to its ability to mimic the natural appearance of teeth.
Metal: These can be made of metal alloys, such as gold or silver. Metal crowns are durable and are often used on molars where strength is crucial.
Porcelain on metal: Combines the aesthetics of ceramics with the strength of metal.
Tooth preparation: Before placing the crown, the tooth is prepared by carving it to create space for the crown.
Impression: An impression is taken of the prepared tooth to ensure a precise fit of the crown.
Temporary placement: While the permanent crown is being made, a temporary crown is placed to protect the prepared tooth.
Care and Maintenance:
Good oral hygiene: Brushing and flossing regularly is essential to maintain the health of the crown and surrounding teeth.
Avoid chewing hard objects: To prevent damage to the crown, it is recommended to avoid chewing hard objects or using your teeth as tools.
Duration:
The lifespan of a dental crown depends on several factors, such as oral care, overall oral health, and the material used.
Generally, a well-maintained crown is expected to last for many years.
It's important to mention that the process and specific materials may vary depending on the clinical situation and patient preferences. If you are considering a dental crown, I would recommend talking to your dentist to get more specific information about your particular case.
